Post Modern Living
This episode of Richard Sheinmel and Clay Zambo’s series presents two interrelated tales. The first half follows a day in the life of Mitch and Chester, a committed couple in a long time relationship. It is a boy-meets-boy story of promiscuity, first dates, self-imposed celibacy, and true love. The second half takes place on Mother’s Day, as Mitch’s mom recounts the story of how she discovered her breast cancer, the doctor who saved her life, and how her illness has re-affirmed her faith.
A terrific cast and the hottest band in town make for a delightful evening of story and song.

POST MODERN LIVING is a non-traditional musical, a piece of lively and lovely performance art. Imagine if Prairie Home Companion was set in the East Village and you’ll get the idea.

whose casual informality, honesty, and warmth are rivaled only by its dazzlingly high entertainment quotient. I loved this show.” —Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com](Post%20Modern%20Living_files/shapeimage_1.png)
